In his previous life as a primary school teacher, Leon Oldstrong was forever telling the children in his care that they could be anything they wanted to be… yet deep down he didn’t believe this was true for him. One day he watched a feature film that had been produced on a budget of $6000 and was blown away, right there and then he decided this was something he could do. He had enough of watching content told by the same voices and always seeing the same type of people on screen. His goal is to create the films that he wanted to see growing up but never did. To make sure that hischildren and so many others like them get to see role models and heroes that look like them and their family on screen. He fight for, represent and gives a voice to marginalised people. His ideas are unapologetic and he strives to produce content that is honest no matter how uncomfortable it makes people feel. This is his story.
